Checks if a string is too large to fit in a TextView… here is a solution to the problem.
Checks if a string is too large to fit in a TextView
I have an EditText
, a TextView
, and a Button
. I want to check if the string in EditText
is too large or doesn’t fit in the TextView, if not I want to append “..."
to the string, so if I write “That’s a nice coat” and it’s too big to fit in the TextView
, it will show “That’s a ni…”. I can’t add more rows to
the TextView
to make it fit.
Solution
Just use maxLines=1 and ellipsize=end in your TextView
If in code, use mText.setEllipsize(TextUtils.TruncateAt.END).
